The Touch of Silk - Paperback

by Shannon Page (Author)

Is he for real?

Not-quite-retired doctor and longtime widow Lynne Daniels was not looking for a new gentleman friend. But when the attractive and charming "silver fox" Will Hamilton shows up at her art opening, raves about her work, and asks her to dinner, she starts to think, Hmm, maybe?
The more she and Will get to know each other, the deeper she feels herself falling for him. He's just perfect-sophisticated without being snobby, financially comfortable, and an amazing listener. He's even a great pickleball player.
Lynne's friend and fellow soup-group member Alicia signs them up to play as a team in Orcas Island's big midsummer benefit pickleball tournament. Everything is going swimmingly when suddenly one crisis after another crops up: Lynne's adult son crashes his personal life and moves back home; the medical clinic loses a key staff member so everyone has to take on far more patients; the art gallery owner lines up an impossible number of commissions for Lynne.
She's barely navigating all that when Will gets called away to deal with a crisis of his own-in Arizona. And he has no idea when he'll be able to return to the island.
Is the whole world conspiring to complicate Lynne's life-and her romance?
